Bomb squad experts in Austria sealed off a busy motorway to deal with a
suspicious package that turned out to be a switched-on vibrator.
A man reported noises from the package after seeing it left in the car
park
at a busy motorway service station at Rankweil.
He called local police and alerted them to the what he believed was an
"explosive device with a ticking timer".
But when explosive experts who sealed off the area opened the packet it
turned out to be nothing more explosive than a pack of hard core porn
films
lying next to the vibrator.
Peter Freudelsberger, local police spokesman, said: "When our experts
opened
the suspicious package, it turned out that it was full with all sorts of
sex
articles.
"The vibrator had been switched on but the batteries had run down and it
was
not vibrating any more, just making a sort of ticking noise."
Police took the items away, but say they are not expecting the owner to
turn
up to collect them.
